☕ - The hot beverage that powers the world!

Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!

Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.

TLDR: He doesn't like it and says it tastes exactly like any other $3 cup, lol

My takeaway wasn't that he didn't like it, he did. Just not worth the absurd price unless you want to literally pay for the privilege.

That's not what he said at all.

Yeah that's a very editorialized version and I hate that it's the top comment.

Obviously the coffee isn't going to be 100x better or more unique than a normal espresso. The point of the video was not to "discover" this, and if that's all you got out of it, you missed the point.

As someone who has tried very expensive yet very bad tasting kopi luwak, I feel comfortable saying this is also a load of shit.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

kopi luwak is literally from shit though, and no serious coffee connoisseur considers it to be good.

That's way too much. I'll make you one for just $330.

Just because someone is charging that price does not mean that’s how valuable the product is.

People are fucking stupid and will buy anything to make themselves feel rich and special. 🙄

[–] Whelks_chance@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's exactly the point of the video

Haha yes. I also love how polite Hoffman conveys the message that this is fucking dumb.
